I found staysure to be competitive thanks to advice from this forum.

Stay sure however I have insurance through my bank, it’s actually backed by AXA, I just call and pay additional premium. Overall it compares to Staysure Quotes so I just stick with it.

Wow you must be some person going away too soon, I wouldn’t have had the confidence!

Piravite hospital very cheap in Turkey. I went last month and didn't take insurance I had bypass operation 4 months ago.

Try Staysure and perhaps get an annual policy if you're going away more than twice in the year. I think for me the single 2 week cover was just over half the annual cost so I got an annual policy as we went away twice. I didn't need to make any claims so cannot vouch for how good they are at paying out if you need to make a claim although I think they have a 5 star rating?

Sorry I feel a bit like the Devil's Advocate! If your heart attack at the end of last week you will not be able to drive. The DVLA do not allow you to drive for a minimum of four weeks post HA and you must have your GP/cardiologist's go ahead. Have you asked if you are fit to travel?

Whilst treatment in Turkey is cheap travelling uninsured as suggested would be a great risk. This would be further complicated if the plane had to be diverted.

I personally doubt you will get a reasonable premium ay the stage. Is it , maybe, possible to postpone or have you cancellation insurance ?

Just booked with stay sure again, was much cheaper than any other insurance companies on the Martin Lewis comparison website.

Not what you're looking for?
